The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

According to this site:
humblestudentofthemarkets.com - Zweig breadth thrust from caution to yolo
there were seven out-of-sample buy signals since the 1986 publication and the S&P was higher a year later in all instances.

It may be a fantastic indicator, but it's not clear that the above statement alone necessarily means that.
The S&P generally goes up, so what are the chances that if you pick seven dates at random the S&P would be higher a year later?
Or some test like that, I haven't really thought it about much other than to think 'somebody oughta think about it'
